We want to see emergency measures against the wave of violence

The Left Party demands an acute pot of ten billion kronor for rapid interventions against the ongoing wave of violence. We lack the safety net needed to prevent young people from being drawn into gang crime, says party leader Nooshi Dadgostar.

The party wants to see five task forces that, among other things, are proposed to focus on helping those affected by violent and explosive crimes, and efforts for young people at risk. One proposal is a person who accompanies the young person from home to the classroom every day.

The party also wants to see investments in school and leisure activities, measures against the recruitment of young people to crime through social media, and a comprehensive review of all HVB homes.

The work is proposed to be coordinated and led from the Government Offices in collaboration with the police and other relevant authorities. The funds are to be taken from an additional supplementary budget.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has admitted that he has lost control. Therefore, the task is now to regain control, says Nooshi Dadgostar, who believes that the government must call for party leader talks.

Ilyas Hassan, chairman of V's political development project Förorten i framtiden, points out how the public sector has withdrawn from the suburbs, including in Husby where he himself grew up.

When politics has abandoned, the criminal gangs' terror has established itself, he says.
